Love It When All Is Well, But It's Quirky —
Overall I love it, but it has required several repairs over the years. Amp (sound) went out about $400, an issue in the gear box was about $800, some recalls, and inconvenient to get to the headlight bulbs in the '07's. Otherwise, very comfortable ride, and stylish in my opinion. I love it when it's running well!

Pros

roominess

Cons

maintenance

It's American —
it's the best family vehicle that's not a minivan. However, it's still american made and that means reliability is still a problem. Check the Acadia forums for all the problems with the Acadia. Why does GM keep putting this V6 and it's transmission with all the problems its experiencing?

Pros

I love my Acadia. It has been pretty reliable. Ive had a couple of issues with it; but overall a pretty good vehicle.

Cons

Something going on with the power steering making a odd and annoying noise, service air bag and the low oil pressure light keeps coming on; but have been told that they are nothing to worry about and so far it is true.

Looks And Handles Terrific. Love This Vehicle —
I love the way it handles; especially in the winter. I was a bit worried about it as I have always had four wheel drive vehicles; but it handles possibly better. Lots of room and love the third row seating.

Pros

Cons

It Looks Great, But It Is A Maintenance Nightmare —
If this car represents 'American' build quality, then I will look elsewhere. We have had nothing but issues ever since we purchased this. It came with GMC certification warranty and we purchased the extended warranty(thank god). We have still had to pay all the co-pays, a lot of the issued are common sense cheap crap.

Pros

Great for gear and outdoor adventures and friends

Cons

the automatic back hatch can be an annoying feature

Get Your Go On! —
A comfortable roamy, safe vehicle that gets good gas milage. great for road trips and gear. Spaciously comfortable for car camping. Fabulous sound system Bosc speakers, back seat has own system to plug head phones into. I have really enjoyed this acadia. It's just big for our driveway and only having one child.

Pros

Interior space, Comfort, Fuel Economy

Cons

none

Great Car For A Family. —
The Acadia has a very roomy interior. It also has a large cargo area. Access to the rear seats is easy. The car rides very well and gets great gas milage. Loaded with safety features. It is a great family car.

Pros

Great gas mileage for its class. Lots of room for family and friends. Extremely comfortable for long car rides.

Cons

It occasionally will have a manufacturers recall but all are taken care of and up to date.

It Is A Stylish And Comfortable Ride. Easy On The Gas And Budget. —
I love the way it rides and handles. I am addicted to the heated seats and XM radio. Very easy to drive and easy to afford. Interior is easy to keep clean with plenty of cup holders for everyone. Love it!

Pros

Drive this car because i own it!

Cons

Nothing sucks about it!

Perfect Family Truck —
I like this car because its exterior and interior are really nice and it is very easy to handle, i also like it is because it doesn't use much gas. This car is very spacious and has a very stylish way of providing the space needed.

Pros

Cons

reliability

Nice Looking Poorly Built Cheap —
Relaibility, after 9 recals in 2 1/2 year not exactly good quality. Had to change my timing belt because the oil wear prematurely. Wipers failed, door caster broke, Passenger seat broke. I am not impressed and will never by a GM anymore
